jimmyjimmy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Saw this one posted in the Now Playing thread earlier this week and then downloaded the leak.It's right up there w/ M.E.Co's best stuff. Really enjoying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Has been it heavy rotation for me since it leaked a couple of days ago. Horizons.... Crossroads.... Ghosts.... Devils. A very strong addition to the impressive Molina catalog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A very strong addition to the impressive Molina catalog. from the snips i've heard, this sounds incredible. jason has really tamed his voice(which is neither here nor there btw). really looking forward to this. anyone get the record store day ep? it looks good too. man, what a summer...NY archives, new phish, new wilco, new son volt, new patterson hood, new MEC...not to mention, flaming lips coming up too!!

CortezTheKiller Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 man, what a summer...NY archives, new phish, new wilco, new son volt, new patterson hood, new MEC...not to mention, flaming lips coming up too!!Agreed. Well, except for the Phish and Flaming Lips part. I'm warming up to the NYA. I'm definitely more excited about the next installment, but this is a nice collection of Neil that fills in some of the blanks and upgrades the audio quality of much of the "unreleased" material I'd accumulated over the years. I'm puzzled by how much previously-released material is included, but what are you going to do? Murdering Oscar, while sounding very much like an extension of the Truckers catalog, is a very strong album. I'm obsessed with American Central Dust. Thus far, it's the best thing I've heard this year. Josephine is quickly rising to the top of this year's albums. It's a very, very strong Molina offering. Stylistically diverse, with more of the excellent songwriting you've come to expect from Jason. I'll let you judge the production Rider. The new Wilco I'm hot and cold with. There are some amazing songs on it (One Wing and Black Bull Nova immediately come to mind), but I don't find myself aching to listen to it all that often. Well, that's my long-winded way of agreeing with you Rider. A good musical summer indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that's my long-winded way of agreeing with you Rider. A good musical summer indeed. right on cortez! i downloaded the leaks of the new son volt and wilco, but only sampled. i could tell they would be amazing, so i deleted. waiting for the street date. can't wait to see the magnolia documentary as well. the trailer looks cool. molina seems like a real character. i'm also looking forward to the jim james ep. i'm hot and cold with them. it's funny, usually all the good shit comes out in spring or fall. summer seems to be the new time for release of good music. as far as the archives go, i'm just downloading bits and pieces. there are about 10 great moments including the bad fog and jttp studio tracks with the stray gators. one thing i was really excited about was the remastered albums. the debut sounds so good. really happy to have that. now, if gillian welch would just release some new material. peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 You guys are getting me so excited for this record!!!Agreed about the music coming out this summer, I haven't had records come out by bands I really like in ages but now they're all coming out at once Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M. (hristine Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 There are some records one never forgets the first time hearing. Sigh. I love this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Me too. for me, this album seems like my idea of magnolia electric co and it's reality have totally come together. i find that i like the 'idea' of several bands/artists, but their music doesn't move my soul. jason almost nailed it for me with nashville moon. this is an amazing follow up. hopefully they'll get some more publicity and some bigger, nicer venues rather than the dives i've seen them at:) craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbama Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I had this album on repeat all weekend. I had never really liked Magnolia Electric Co. but I am digging this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Boeheim Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 definitely one of the best records of the year, some of these songs are just so damn beautiful it kinda hurts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. (hristine Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 definitely one of the best records of the year, some of these songs are just so damn beautiful it kinda hurts. I listened to this and Ghost Tropic cross country over the weekend. Perfect soundscape to the wide moody skies above Missouri. and the only bridge I haven't burned is the one I'm standing on...

Maggie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I pre-ordered the LP last night and was surprised/excited to find out I would get an immediate download of Josephine + It's Made Me Cry. What a great deal! I'm listening to the EP right now for the first time and liking what I hear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Just preordered this. Was suspiciously cheaper than the Wilco preorder.. hmm. Regardless!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Oddly I arrived at a very similar conclusion while I was there. for me, it may have to do with family. however, i really feel like a midwesterner. laid back, into all different types of music, etc. will probably end up back there at some point. flat lands and endless highways that either lead to indiana or ohio:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 I never got the EP download from my preorder Really good album even on first few listens. O! Grace is my favorite Molina opening track since The Black Crow. Every time I hear that chorus it kills me. Too good. I love the full band version of Shiloh. I saw them play it as a full-band song in concert before I got my boxset and heard the acoustic version, and for some reason the acoustic version just never felt right to me.What I really like is how Molina and the boys didn't feel obligated to "rock out" on this record, I wonder how much of that is in response to the Crazy Horse comparisons? To me this feels like the record Jason has been trying to make since after the self titled Magnolia record. It's funny seeing you guys write about how Jason's music is such a great sound scape to certain areas. Me, I always felt like a lot of his work connected with mountainous forests of British Columbia and western Alberta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me this feels like the record Jason has been trying to make since after the self titled Magnolia record.The irony being most of his records don't rock out. I don't think he helped matters by breaking into "Tonight's the Night" and "Out on the Weekend" on Trials and Errors. My favorite song on the new album is the one where he does rock out - "The Handing Down." That said, I think the whole album is very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think I've found my album of the year, at least until the new Califone comes out. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
